Hi Glen.
I had a problem with the sign in process earlier. I tried to log on from a computer I don't usually use and failed. There's a few bugs actually, some more serious but I haven't gone back to reproduce that nasty one yet as I'm very tired and would like to sleep but am doing this first.
The first bug is that upon a bad login the software says you have 2 more attempts, but says your IP is blocked for 2 minutes on the next bad try. This didn't effect me because my ISP gives dynamic IP addresses and if I go to the router page and hit 'apply' to the login settings then I get logged out and back into the ISP and a new address. I changed my address between each failure of trying to log in.
After I could not log in, and I still don't understand why I couldn't as my original password should not have been effected by the nasty bug, which I'll get to and you'lle understand the statment in a second.
After I coudn't log in a couple of times, I used the feature to change my password to see what that would do as I was 99.9% sure I wasn't screwing up. I still couldn't log in... the reason again was the nastier bug.... maybe its the only bug and just causes all this behaviour actually.
When I couldn't get in I kept on changing my IP address and created new user accounts so that I could report it. I did this twice and successfully made accounts but could not log in.
I got my external drive, deleted my firefox profile directory and dragged the older one in, but I was not logged in. I knew at this point that changing my password must have actually worked since my cookie has me auto logging in... actually thats sort of the forum default.
I sent an email to Suzi from her profile, but I remebered that she had used that for spam at one point, and halfway through sending one to another member I checked my old email account to see if it still there. It is... I haven't even looked at it in at least 8 months and hotmail just won't die!!! I hate it. Its the whole reason I haven't looked at it, is so it would die. They aren't a cooperative service.
So as it happens, the reset password was in my email, and it was a truncated version of what I typed. I typed 10 charactors and it gave me 8 of them. I logged in with those 8, and here I am.
My original password to the site, which I was not able to log into with, from another computer that has never been here, is 8 charachters long, so I don't understand what the problem was there.
Now that I type it all out, I don't think I've really identified any single mean bug causing various problems, and like I said I haven't gone back to reproduce the 8 charactor thing where it truncates the password when changed, or new accounts however I did two of them and they didn't work. In fact I'm not sure what the problem is but I am pretty confident that there's a serious problem with logging in.
Good luck, and maybe grab a differant computer and try logging in with a differant username before locking yourself out in case there's a forum riot and you need to step in. You wouldn't want to have to hack into junk just to make a post
